Framingham Earl’s current market comprises 249 properties for sale, of which 243 remain actively marketed and 6 have gone under offer, a subject to contract rate of 30.0%. The average asking price stands at £436,500, with individual listings ranging from £250,000 up to £825,000, illustrating the breadth of stock from smaller village homes to larger detached properties.
Homes here are taking an average of 277 days to find a buyer, and with 9.1 months of inventory currently on the shelf, supply comfortably outpaces the pace of sales. Set against the wider Norfolk average of £378,145, Framingham Earl commands a price premium of £58,355, or 15.4%, yet properties here are actually moving faster than the county norm, selling 114 days sooner than the Norfolk average of 391 days.

Framingham Earl’s headline trend is one of extended selling timescales relative to typical activity, yet still comparatively fast against the Norfolk backdrop. The average of 277 days on market and 9.1 months of inventory point to a market with ample choice for buyers, while an SSTC rate of 30.0% shows a meaningful slice of stock, 6 of the 249 listings, has already found buyers.
There is no sign of a rapid seller’s market here, but nor is stock simply sitting unsold. The £250,000 to £825,000 price range reflects a village catering to a wide span of buyer budgets, from smaller homes through to substantial detached properties such as the six bedroom house on Caistor Lane, Caistor St. Edmund, which is listed at £825,000 and is now SSTC after 81 days.
With 243 of the 249 listed properties still actively seeking a buyer and only 6 under offer, Framingham Earl currently favours buyers more than sellers. An SSTC rate of 30.0% combined with 9.1 months of inventory indicates supply is running well ahead of the current pace of sales, giving buyers meaningful choice across the £250,000 to £825,000 price spectrum.
Sellers are not without leverage, however. Properties do sell, and the area’s 277 day average is still faster than the 391 day Norfolk average, meaning realistically priced homes are not left waiting indefinitely.
Momentum in Framingham Earl looks steady rather than dramatic in either direction. The 277 day average time to sell and 9.1 months of inventory describe a market moving at a measured pace, neither snapping up stock nor stalling completely, with 6 properties currently progressing through to SSTC.
Compared with the Norfolk county average of 391 days, homes here are shifting 114 days sooner, suggesting the underlying pace of activity is holding up reasonably well even as overall stock levels remain elevated at 249 listings.
Buyers approaching Framingham Earl currently hold a reasonably strong negotiating hand. With 243 properties still actively for sale against only 6 SSTC, and 9.1 months of inventory outstanding, sellers competing for a limited pool of active buyers have an incentive to engage on price.
The comparable listings make the point plainly. A four bed detached on Norwich Road, Poringland has sat on the market for 152 days, while a similarly sized four bed detached on Caistor Lane, Poringland found a buyer in 25 days, presumably reflecting the accuracy of its asking price. Buyers should treat listings that have been on the market well beyond the 277 day average as an opening for a more assertive offer.
Our experience working across Framingham Earl and its neighbouring villages is that presentation and pricing accuracy separate the properties that sell within weeks from those still listed months later. The three bed semi-detached on Paddocks Way, Poringland moved to SSTC in just 29 days, while a four bed detached on Crown Close, Poringland has been on the market for 86 days without yet finding a buyer, a gap that in our experience usually comes down to how closely the asking price reflects genuine buyer appetite from the outset.
In a village where average days on market sit at 277, getting the initial price right matters more than any amount of subsequent marketing effort.
Look beneath the headline average of £436,500 and Framingham Earl’s market shows considerable range. At the affordable end, the £250,000 starting point sits well below the average, while the £825,000 ceiling, represented by the six bedroom house on Caistor Lane, Caistor St. Edmund, shows the top of the market extends into substantial family homes.
Of the 249 properties currently listed, only 6 have progressed to SSTC, a 30.0% rate that trails the SSTC rates recorded in neighbouring Poringland (60.0%), Stoke Holy Cross (45.0%) and Caistor St Edmund (53.0%), despite Framingham Earl’s average price sitting close to Poringland’s £447,000. This gap suggests buyers are committing more readily in the surrounding villages than in Framingham Earl itself at present, even though the 277 day average time to sell here remains notably quicker than the Norfolk county average of 391 days.
Buying in Framingham Earl at present means entering a market with genuine choice: 243 properties are still actively for sale, spanning £250,000 through to £825,000. With 9.1 months of inventory on the books, there is little pressure to rush a decision, and the 277 day average time to sell suggests many sellers are prepared to hold out for the right offer rather than accept the first one that arrives.
Comparable listings give a useful benchmark. A three bed semi-detached on Arminghall Lane is currently on the market at £425,000 after 36 days, while a four bed detached on Crown Close, Poringland is listed at £475,000 having been available for 86 days. Buyers should use time on market as a genuine negotiating tool, particularly for any property that has been listed well beyond the local average.
Our considered view is that Framingham Earl currently sits in a settled phase rather than a fast moving one. Stock levels of 249 properties, against an SSTC rate of 30.0%, tell us buyers have the upper hand on availability, though the area’s comparatively quick 277 day average against Norfolk’s 391 days shows demand has not disappeared.
Sellers who price realistically against the £250,000 to £825,000 range actually being achieved locally, rather than against ambition, continue to find buyers within a reasonable timeframe. Those who overreach risk joining the properties that drift well past the 277 day mark with little interest.
For an investor, Framingham Earl offers an average entry price of £436,500 across a market of 249 listed properties, with prices ranging from £250,000 to £825,000. The 30.0% SSTC rate and 9.1 months of inventory point to a market where stock is not moving quickly, meaning purchase decisions can be made without the pressure of a fast paced bidding environment.
We do not currently hold rental yield data for this specific area, so any income based analysis should be supplemented with local letting agent advice before committing capital.
Of the 20 comparable listings analysed for Framingham Earl, Detached House stock dominates at 85% (17 properties), with Semi-Detached House making up the remaining 15% (3 properties). This mix is reflected in the spread of asking prices.
Semi-detached examples currently on the market include a three bed on Arminghall Lane at £425,000 and a three bed on Paddocks Way, Poringland, now SSTC, at £300,000, while detached stock ranges far wider, from a four bed on Norwich Road, Poringland at £400,000 up to the six bed detached on Caistor Lane, Caistor St. Edmund at £825,000. With the overall price range running from £250,000 to £825,000, the dominance of detached stock is the main reason the area’s average price of £436,500 sits above several of its neighbours.
There are 249 properties currently listed in Framingham Earl, of which 243 remain actively for sale and 6 are under offer. Comparable listings from the surrounding area help illustrate the range, including a three bed semi-detached house on Arminghall Lane, Arminghall at £425,000 (36 days on market), a four bed detached on Crown Close, Poringland at £475,000 (86 days), and a four bed detached on Norwich Road, Poringland at £400,000, which has been listed for 152 days.
Among comparable properties already sold subject to contract are a three bed semi-detached on Paddocks Way, Poringland at £300,000 (29 days), a four bed detached on Caistor Lane, Poringland at £500,000 (25 days), and a six bed detached on Caistor Lane, Caistor St. Edmund at £825,000 (81 days).
Land Registry records show six completed sales in Framingham Earl itself. On John Drewry Close, a terraced property sold for £227,000 on 3 June 2026 and a detached home sold for £300,000 on 21 May 2026. On Pigot Lane, a detached property completed at £565,000 on 31 March 2026, while a detached home on Cedar Road sold for £425,000 on 27 March 2026.
At the top of the range, a detached property on Long Road sold for £1,430,000 on 20 March 2026, and a further detached home on Long Road completed at £862,500 on 18 December 2025. These are confirmed completed transactions and should be read as separate from the SSTC listings still working their way through to completion.
Framingham Earl’s average price of £436,500 sits £58,355 above the Norfolk county average of £378,145, a premium of 15.4%. Despite commanding higher prices, homes here are also selling faster than the county as a whole, averaging 277 days on market compared with 391 days across Norfolk, a difference of 114 days.
This combination, a higher price point moving through the market more quickly than the county norm, suggests continued demand for the specific character of housing on offer in Framingham Earl rather than simple overpricing.
Set against its closest neighbours, Framingham Earl’s average price of £436,500 is broadly in line with Poringland, where the average sits at £447,000, a difference of £10,500. It is considerably higher than Stoke Holy Cross, priced £105,500 lower on average at £331,000, and above Caistor St Edmund, which averages £357,000, a gap of £79,500.
Where Framingham Earl differs most clearly is in its rate of sale: its 30.0% SSTC rate trails Poringland’s 60.0%, Stoke Holy Cross’s 45.0% and Caistor St Edmund’s 53.0%, indicating that despite comparable or higher pricing, buyer commitment is currently progressing more slowly here than in any of these three neighbouring markets.
Framingham Earl retains the feel of a genuine Norfolk village rather than a commuter dormitory, with housing stock ranging from older terraced cottages, such as the one on John Drewry Close that changed hands for £227,000, through to substantial detached homes on roads like Long Road and Pigot Lane, where recent completed sales have reached £1,430,000 and £565,000 respectively.
The village sits within easy reach of Poringland and the wider Norwich road network, giving residents access to the larger amenities of the neighbouring village while retaining its own quieter, more rural character. Streets such as Cedar Road show the mix of eras typical of the area, with detached builds of varying vintage sitting close together, giving buyers a genuine choice of house style rather than a single uniform look.
Selling in Framingham Earl currently means competing against 243 other active listings and an average time to sale of 277 days, so an accurate initial price is essential rather than optional. The gap between the four bed detached on Norwich Road, Poringland, still on the market after 152 days, and the similarly sized detached on Caistor Lane, Poringland, which reached SSTC in 25 days, illustrates how much difference pricing precision makes at the outset.
With 9.1 months of inventory currently on the market, sellers should expect a marketing period measured in months rather than weeks, and should prepare a realistic view of value based on the £250,000 to £825,000 range actually being achieved locally, not aspirational figures.
Choosing representation for a Framingham Earl property means choosing an agent who understands why some homes, such as the three bed semi-detached on Paddocks Way, Poringland, move to SSTC within a month, while others remain on the market for considerably longer. That distinction comes down to genuine local pricing knowledge, not generic branch coverage.
We track the area’s 249 current listings, its 30.0% SSTC rate and its 277 day average time to sell as a matter of course, so that any valuation we provide reflects what is actually happening on the ground in Framingham Earl rather than a broader regional assumption.
The Ivybridge Collection maintains an active watching brief on Framingham Earl as part of its wider coverage of the villages surrounding Norwich, tracking all 249 currently listed properties alongside completed Land Registry sales as they are recorded.
For sellers or buyers wanting a grounded, evidence based view of where a specific Framingham Earl property sits within this market, The Ivybridge Collection provides local assessments built on this data rather than generic regional estimates.
Our professional advice to anyone selling in Framingham Earl at present is to price against the evidence, not against hope. With 9.1 months of inventory and an average of 277 days on market, an overpriced property will simply add to the pool of the 243 currently unsold listings rather than attracting early interest.
Sellers should ask for a comparable based valuation referencing recent Land Registry completions, such as the £425,000 achieved on Cedar Road and £565,000 on Pigot Lane, rather than relying solely on asking prices of competing listings, which have not yet been tested by a completed sale. Buyers, meanwhile, should factor the area’s 277 day average into their timeline expectations and should not assume every listing is under the same pressure to sell quickly, 6 properties here have already reached SSTC while 243 remain in active negotiation.
This report is based on a snapshot of the Framingham Earl market taken on 1 August 2026, drawing on 249 current listings, 20 comparable properties analysed for property type mix, and completed sale prices recorded by the Land Registry.
It is intended to reflect the position at that date and should be read alongside more recent listings for the most current picture.
